The original liberation in 1776 was in opposition to taxation. "Liberation" in 2025 is the imposition of taxation.

Democracy is showing itself to be a huge con. The ones who forced it on the world (see WWI) are no longer hiding in the shadows, but are showing their teeth.

This is all so arbitrary. Trump can't micromanage prices everywhere. The market is WAY too big and complex.

Bombing Yemen is not America First (along with the rest of the Middle East). Neither is NATO anything related to America First. When can we be "liberated" from being ripped off by these? Why not now?

With the first big botch of the Trump Admin’s cabinet … We can see that the right is a mirror image of the left in the way they defend themselves. - criticize the character of the journalist … that must make it a hoax - the other party did worse than this, so… - you hate America - we don’t know who did what - no one is going anywhere All of this was downstream from the fact that the U.S. should not be bombing Yemen. But Left and Right are mirror images of each other.

Trump prides himself on being UNPREDICTABLE. He’ll say things that are never meant to be taken seriously. In many ways, it serves him well. But… It would be a terrible irony if Trump ends up being one of MOST PREDICTABLE presidents in history. Everyone (who pays attention) knew before the election that the problem with Trump is Israel. Would he further bury our nation for Israel? Many were (and still are) certain that the answer is YES. The memes are endless. I hoped this was a different man after everything he went through, and even voted for him; which I never do. But here we are in month 2 and already the threats of war with Iran are being proclaimed. Very predictable…and very worrying. Can it be that Trump is actually extremely predictable? I hope (ultimately) the answer is No.

Out with DEI … and in with this?

I don't remember hearing about the Houthis when Trump was campaigning and dancing on stage. I do, however, remember him saying he was the best option to avoid WWIII and avoid wars.

I keep seeing from the Right that "there needs to be a primary" for those that go against what Trump wants. Granted, most of Congress is shameful, but the words were even thrown against one of the BEST -- Thomas Massie. This is very hive-like behavior. The Left does this crap all the time. "If you're one of us...you'll take the jab, you'll stop buying Teslas, you'll say that Trump is Hitler." The Right copies this borg-like behavior. If members "have-to" vote the way Trump wants, why have a Congress at all? Why have representatives that vote? It's no wonder our government became the cesspool that it is. "Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, Here I am, stuck in the middle with you."

As much as I support Massie standing on principle (as he should) I would like to see spending actually cut. But the way government works is to kick the can and have a new excuse to kick it again. If history repeats, we'll hear something like this: "Well, President Trump had a plan to cut, but then XYZ happened... You can't expect government spending to be cut after XYZ." And this is how the spending goes...on and on, with no end. Massie never has to worry about doing the right thing...simply because it's right, no matter what happens.

Will Democrats (when they're back in power) kick people with green cards and visas out for political views too? Will getting a green card or visa going forward mean that you must have certain opinions? If Republicans are in power, don't criticize foreign nation (A). If Democrats are in power, don't criticize foreign nation (B).

Trump says that the EU was formed to "screw" the U.S. and that may be true, I don't know. But one thing I do know, is that the EU is modeled after the U.S. (at least the post-1865 U.S.). After the Civil War, the U.S. did not go back to being a decentralized union (without the slavery). That's what should have happened...ban slavery across the board, and go back to being decentralized and unique states. Instead, the U.S. became a consolidated and centralized power located in DC. Everything would flow from DC. The states would be homogenized, and local cultures whisked away. When you travel the U.S., it often feels like you never left home. With the exception of restaurants and the wonders of nature, the states have become a carbon copy of one another. There's Home Depot, Lowe's, McDonalds, Best Buy, Kohl's...etc...etc. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike any of these places, but all of them are tentacles of the Grand Octopus in DC. If DC says check for :vaccine passports," they'll all comply. If DC says "go woke," they will all go woke. The European Union is modeled after this. All of the European nations would be homogenized, and take their orders from their own DC (i.e., Brussels). Local cultures would homogenized. Is it a coincidence that both the United States and European opened their borders? When is such insanity acceptable, unless there's an ulterior motive? Both the United States (post-1865) and the European Union look to me to be the models of Globalism. Do this to the whole world! Any country that seeks to retain its own nationality and its own culture is labeled the enemy. Every nation must be homogenized...to take orders from some centralized entity. God forbid.

By far. And Trump compares him to Liz Cheney? Big blunder.

It's true. The burglar always has an excuse: "You don't understand, I have to steal because [XYZ]." "Let me steal just one more time, and then I'll change my ways." "You'll see, just one more time."

The great Thomas Massie revealed that everyone in the House has an AIPAC-guy…except himself of course. War “influencers” want everyone to think that it’s a Qatari-guy instead. I highly doubt Massie was hiding this from us.

This is not a bad idea, but corruption doesn't reside in politicians alone. Citizens WANT politicians to act like criminals: - Steal my neighbor's money for me. - Take away my neighbor's rights. - Send my neighbor to die for a foreign nation. - Mandate my neighbor to wear masks and take jabs that don't work. - (the list of crimes is endless) So you can't want your politician to be a criminal FOR YOU and not be corrupt FOR HIMSELF.
